Our second visit to Storm cottage, we had a wonderful time - swimming in the sea, eating cake at Boggle Hole and enjoying the beautiful view from the patio. We especially enjoyed the Ghost Walk. Thank you so much, we will return.The Weaver Andrews family - 2nd September 2017

The cottage had amazing views across the bay from the outside decking. The cottage was cosy, clean and well equipped. An enjoyable stay, and would return.Mrs Stella Flynn - 7th July 2015
